The proposed research will address the growing need for performance enhancement techniques and technologies for deep-sub-micron and nano-scale CMOS circuits. The target application of the research is integrated circuits, such as radio frequency transceivers, implantable biomedical devices, and data converters. Circuits will be devised to tune and correct non-ideal and unwanted circuit behaviour that is characteristic of the current and up-coming generations of nano-scale integrated circuit technologies. The research results will lead to increased energy efficiencies in integrated circuits, enhanced performance in the areas of operating speed, increased dynamic range, and low voltage operation. Product cost will also be reduced by increasing production yield. The research will enable designers to utilize up-coming integrated circuit technologies in a wider range of applications than otherwise currently possible.
